Those torty-cent a pound turkeys don't need to think they have any combination on Thanksgiving dinner. A fellow can eat something else if he has to. We can at feast be thankful that we are not in the trenches, that we are not dodging bombs from the enemy or dreading any seige other than that being led by General High Cost of Living. It looks as though the plum# in the state senate, meaning the “jobs" will be divided among the democrats and republicans on a titty-fifty basis, which will i>rol>ably prevent some of the quarrelling about the number in the third house. The estimated population of the United States is now 113,309,385. an increase of over two million the paj>t year, ahd another proof that Colonel Roosevelt didn't , know jftst what he was talking about wheu he predicted race suicide a few years ago. The man who makes moifey in a community has a dutv to perform to that community, ft may be that he has made his money by his superior business afritHy, and that ire would have done as well anywhere. That does not alter the case. If his gifts tire, great his responsibilities are equally as great. No man was placed on earth for the sale purpose* of mak ing money, and the man who has this as his ideal had better never have been born. $t is not an act of charity but the performance of a simple duty for the man who has made money to pass a little of it on for the benefit of the community, evert though he never expects to see a dollar of his contribution back. —New Canaan (Conn.t Advertiser.

’ If we say roughly then that the east I • rejected and the went accepted the * 1 presMent, is it fair to assume thut ‘ this represents the division of na- 1 ’ tional opinion on the success of Mr. , Wilson's domestic and foreign poll- < ties? We not. The west did 1 ' not go for Wilson because if was con- ‘ Winced of the sonndnass of a neutral- ( ity benevolent to the allies, or because j 1 it found hits .method of interference I in Mexico essentially wise, but the 1 1 I ( , west did like the purpose and temper < of Mr Wilson's foreign policies. It | liked Iris patience, it shared his de- . sire to make sacrifices for peace, it 1 approved the anti imperialistic basis ' iff his attitude towards Mexico. The 1 west surely, and large minorities elsewhere stood Jby the president because of the net results of his admit*- j istration —peace at the moment, prosperity. a general sense of good will to the rest of the world and of some J fellowship for the humble within the , nation. —New Republic. j Herman L. Conter of this city will retire as deputy secretary of state , next Wednesday, after six years in that high position. He has made good and at this time is receiving the , sincerest good wishes of the employes who have worked with him it) the office of the secretary of state, the hundreds of officials and rmployes about the state house, and the general publie. He is recognized as ' a very competent official who has performed his task well, and it is , most pleasing to his many friends here that he Is being prominently i mentioned as a candidate for secretary of state. His record as deputy has been a perfect one and he is receiving at this time the warmest | praise from attorneys and experts , who have daily transacted important ' > business through his department He ' has a right to feel proud of the six 1 years in one of the most important , positions in the state. Should he ( conclude to become a candidate for i i secretary of state he will have the ’ • support of many men over the state I who realize his fitness for the place. Herman Corner has made good.
